EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Egyptian tomb model depicting the art of herding cattle. From the prestigious Cairo Museum in Egypt, this artifact takes us back to the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life a scene from ancient agricultural practices. In this snapshot, we witness two men skillfully guiding a herd of cattle through lush pastures. Their occupation as herdsman is evident as they expertly navigate their way amidst the livestock. This image not only provides insight into daily life during that time but also highlights the importance of agriculture and farming in ancient Egypt. The concept of death and burial goods becomes intertwined with this photograph, reminding us that these models were often placed within tombs as grave goods for the deceased. As such, it serves as a testament to how deeply rooted cattle herding was in Egyptian culture and its significance even beyond earthly existence. Through this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian society – where man's connection with animals played a vital role in sustaining their civilization. It serves as a reminder that our understanding and appreciation for history can be enriched by exploring objects like these which provide glimpses into long-forgotten professions and ways of life.
